    Default Baby's got a new set of shoes.

    and All I can say is "HOLY SHIT! Batman"

    15x7 Konig Helium w/ 195/50r15 T1-R
    no more 65 MPH shimmy
    no more floating feeling at 85 MPH
    very responsive steering
    Car definately feels like it much better connected to the road.
    Acceleration feels better
    hell everything feels better.
    And I even like the color.

    Wife's comment after drving it to work:

    "If these had been on the car during our drive last year I don't think I would have slid out on that one turn."

    She likes them too.

    No thanks, I've retired the Miata from racing for the most part and already have a spare set of wheels in the garage that I'm trying to get rid of myself.
